Nasiba Norova

Nasiba Norova serves as an Associate Lecturer in the Department of Applied Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts Boston, where she contributes to language education through critical pedagogical frameworks and research on multilingual learner experiences.

Her scholarship centers on dismantling linguistic and cultural hierarchies in educational contexts, with recurring investigations into world Englishes, textbook bias, and transnational academic identity. Recent work examines sexism in Uzbek EFL materials, racialized religion in schools, and linguicism in global communication, revealing systemic inequities while advocating for linguistic tolerance. She consistently bridges theory and practice through analyses of teacher position statements and professional development needs.

Publication trends since 2020 emphasize collaborative knowledge-building, notably in her 2023-2024 co-authorship studies challenging competitive academic norms. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates art education perspectives with multilingual learner support, while earlier work pioneers simulation-based oral proficiency assessment. This trajectory demonstrates evolving focus from structural analysis of educational materials toward transformative academic culture change.
